kind words about The Union Square Food Tour

"Off the Beaten Path ROCKS! I had so much fun. We met in a quaint coffee shop “Vault” room and they guides were so welcoming.   I’ve lived in Somerville many different times for many different years and the cool stuff discovered right in the squares or “off the beaten path” was intriguing.   They covered many different bases with many different cultures from spicy Indian to local Fluff.   Thought the actual walking part of the tour was so informative yet a ton of fun.   I DEFINITELY recommend any tourist, New or old to Somerville to take a trip!"

"We took the Union Square food tour today. It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The tour is well thought out and researched. Our guide led us around the neighborhood sharing stories from Somerville's history. We visited several local food establishments and tasted a variety of food. I've driven through Union Square plenty of times but never stopped to explore it. I will definitely head back to the spots we visited."
